Facebook likes? Could be a scam

Yahoo has an interesting piece on why and how lots of liking in facebook can be simply a scam.
Long story short

"Once a page has collected thousands of likes and comments, it will appear higher in people's News Feeds on Facebook - 'Likes' are the 'currency' of the site, as it were.Pages with 100,000 likes can be sold for $200, according to adverts unearthed by Pearce. [...]

Once the pages have collected huge numbers of 'Likes', they are then sold, for cash, to other businesses who use them to make their page appear popular. "

Nigerian (mostly) Scammers

This Blog is dedicated to making public the details of people who tried to scam me into posting items, sold through the internet, usually by sending fake paypal payments.99% of the times they ask to send stuff in NIGERIA.1 Major one is from Malaysia and has a long online scamming history using similar names-emails.So everyone with a simple search can see if they are dealing with the bad apples.I wonder if they study these things in the university...

Apologies

I decided to post some fake ads to attract the attention of scammers. So I feel the need to apologise to all those legitimate online shoppers who may stumble on my ads.
